Koji Igarashi’s Kickstarter campaign for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night became Kickstaster’s most funded video game when its campaign ended at $5,545,991. Shenmue 3′ Kickstarter has overtaken Bloodstained and has become the highest funded video game in Kickstarter’s history. Shenmue III uses the Unreal Engine 4, and with its Kickstarter campaign having surpassed $6M (of a $2M goal) it has been a smashing success.

Shenmue 3 is the true sequel to the classic open world action RPG games, Shenmue and Shenmue 2

Update News:

PS4 physical copy now a platform choice! All tiers $60 and above will include your choice of the following:

Shenmue 3 is the true sequel to the classic open world action RPG games, Shenmue and Shenmue 2. Created for modern platforms (PC and PlayStation 4) and built-in Unreal 4, Shenmue 3 will continue the legacy of Shenmue.

Shenmue 3 will have familiar elements from its predecessors and new fight mechanics to achieve a new level of interactive storytelling.

If this project reaches its funding goal, Shenmue 3 will be available on the PS4 and PC.

Our ambition is to deliver a Shenmue experience that will draw in newcomers to the series and reward diehard fans with its deep story and rich gameplay.

14 years of planning and ideas from one of the greatest game designers of all time… darn right, there are Stretch Goals! Could these Stretch Goals lead this next Shenmue to change the way we play games again? You know they can. But we can’t add Stretch Goals after the game is on shelves.

The more we can raise during this campaign, the more Shenmue 3 will come alive. Together, we can make it happen. Together, we can make a Shenmue that surpasses even the originals!

We will bring you any new information on Shenmue 3 as soon as it becomes available.
